Testing 12AY7 tubes

I recently came into a box of 12Ay7 (GE JG-6072) tubes. I have no need for
26 of them, so I was going to keep a few for projects and sell the rest to
buy more radio toys.



I tested them on my Mecury 1000 tester, and they ALL come in around 850
mhos. I read that the 12AY7 has a gain of around 45% of a 12AX7. The book
says that a 12AX7 should read 1800, so 45% of 1800 is around 810.



Am I incorrect in believing the 12AY7 has good strong output if it only
reads 850 on my tester? I want to...
